Bhuj, Commercial center in Gujarat, India

The city extends between the Rann marshlands and the Gulf of Kachchh, featuring the Bhujia Hill that rises 110 meters above sea level.

Founded in 1510 by Rao Hamir, Bhuj became a fortified settlement with 35-foot walls and 51 defensive guns protecting the regional capital.

The local artisans maintain traditional techniques in textile production, creating bandhni tie-dye patterns and intricate Rogan art on fabric.

The transportation network includes a domestic airport, railway connections to major Indian cities, and multiple state highways intersecting the urban area.

The Aina Mahal palace, constructed in the 18th century, houses ancient artifacts and mirrors that reflect the architectural excellence of Kutch rulers.
